      Is your BIOS boot option set to 'UEFI only'?

        I got a response from Protecli. It was the UEFI setting in the danged BIOS!! I trashed a perfectly functional install of PFSENSE that took me a day or two to configure. haha. I will start all over again and rebuild my firewall. Thanks again for all your time buddy!

          It's in the Protectli knowledge base articles on installing pfSense 2.4 & FreeBSD 11.2. I've seen the issue reported with various devices using Braswell SoCs, not just those manufactured by Yanling (Protectli).

          As an alternative to changing the BIOS settings as you have done, there is also a work around by entering a command during installation.
